"Yan Jie, are you alright?"
Upon returning to the apartment, the girls immediately surrounded her, checking her thoroughly. They found no traces of blood on her.
"Did they hurt you?"
Zhu Xun sat down with a smile. "They wanted to, but they couldn't beat me."
The girls paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Our Yan Jie is awesome! Hahaha!"
"So they just let you go?"
Zhu Xun shook her head. "No, I came back on my own. I locked them in the confinement room."
Everyone was stunned, and then another wave of laughter erupted.
"Yan Jie, if you treat them like this, they'll definitely get revenge. You need to be extra careful during this period."
Zhu Xun waved her hand dismissively. "I'm afraid they won't come. I'll beat them every time they do."
"Yan Jie is mighty and霸气!"
"Yan Jie is incredibly awesome! You're the only one in the entire academy who dares to confront those people."
The methods of those individuals were extremely disgusting. Even if one or two defiant troublemakers occasionally resisted, they would be targeted and bullied. If one teacher couldn't defeat them, they would be called to the office and ganged up on. Those troublemakers would eventually be forced to become obedient, or an accident would happen, and they would leave the academy.
Zhu Xun was the only one so far who had repeatedly defied them and remained safe and sound.
The group was locked in the confinement room for three days. It was only when multiple attempts to contact them failed that the academy found out and released them.
It was said that when they opened the door, the group inside had already been playing rock-paper-scissors to decide who to eat for survival.
During these three days, Zhu Xun stayed in the apartment, occasionally watching the female ghost fishing. In three days, she had killed two more people. One was a security guard, and the other was a physical education instructor who helped with their training. Both were easily hooked and turned into dried corpses by her.
It was a miracle that with such a death frequency, no one was investigating.
Upon hearing that those people had been released, Zhu Xun knew they would eventually come looking for trouble. So, she planned to get a good night's sleep to conserve her energy for dealing with them the next day.
In the middle of the night, the system suddenly woke her up frantically.
"What's wrong?"
[Host, the mission target has learned about his parents' death! He is now being targeted by the vengeful spirits nurtured by the Jiang family. Hurry up and help him! Otherwise, he will be eaten by the little ghosts.]
Zhu Xun was actually reluctant to go.
No matter how weak that person was, he wouldn't "go offline" at a time like this. However, if she didn't go, he would suffer more.
So, she rolled over, put on her clothes, and left the apartment.
It was past one in the morning, and surprisingly, the fat woman downstairs was still chatting with someone.
At first glance, it was an acquaintance.
The fishing sister.
"Auntie, please let me go out. I'll be back soon."
"Ahem." Zhu Xun walked straight into the duty room, tore off a leave request slip from the side, and slapped it in front of her. "Requesting leave!"
The fat woman trembled uncontrollably when she saw it was her, but she gritted her teeth and refused. "No, the academy has regulations. You cannot go out now."
Zhu Xun simply knocked the woman unconscious and walked past her to the outside.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Out to play."
"Can you take me with you?" The girl followed, exuding an aura of coldness and clinging to Zhu Xun.
"Don't touch me."
"Why are you so fierce? I didn't expose you when you were peeking at me before. Where are you going to play? Take me with you."
Zhu Xun frowned, pushed her away, and said, "Follow me, but don't touch me."
The two of them tacitly understood each other's unusual nature. The girl thought she disliked the aura she emitted and consciously let go, following beside her.
"What's your name? How do you know me? Aren't you afraid of me? Where exactly are you going? The old witch you hit, she'll definitely come looking for trouble tomorrow..."
Zhu Xun wanted to kick her away.
However, the system's urgent calls grew louder, so she had to leave quickly. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to catch a taxi as soon as she got out.
The driver's eyes roamed lecherously over them and asked, "So late, where are you going?"
Zhu Xun gave the address provided by the system.
It happened to be a secluded and deserted park.
The driver said "okay" and started the car.
Along the way, he glanced back in the rearview mirror several times. Zhu Xun couldn't help but ask, "Master, what are you looking at?"
She then pretended to look around her with a confused expression.
The driver met the fishing sister's somewhat eerie smile again, a chill ran down his spine, and he asked, his voice trembling, "The person next to you, is she your..."
"Who is next to me? Master, don't scare me."
The driver suddenly slammed on the brakes and looked back into the rearview mirror again. No one was there.
He asked, his voice trembling, "No, perhaps I saw wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fishing sister, who had been in the back seat, appeared in the passenger seat and asked leisurely, "Master, what did you see wrong? Hurry up, we're almost there."
"Ah!"
